They didn't add anything to that story though. We've heard all of this a few times now. This one actually felt a bit live a grave dance when the squirrels jumped in. They were the best part of the show by a mile but it completely sucked the air out of the reflection.

[@lynnsiesuehoo]

@@apeekintimeI’m not sure that’s the point though. Yes they made this about Ben and yes it’s a sad story but they said a lot of what they do is inspired by him. For this one, they probably care less if the audience finds it funny because they know Ben would’ve thought it was funny. At least that’s my take:)

[@calista-johennessey8566]

​​@@apeekintime they added to it by creating an absurd and ridiculous video that they know the concept and execution of would make ben laugh, because being silly and outrageous is what he did in his short time of being alive. You clearly didn't understand the video and that's fine, but to say that this video is them "dancing on his grave" is disgusting. He was their friend and I think they'd know better than you what he did and would like so if you have nothing nice to say except dogshit on how they choose to grieve and pay their respects to THEIR friend then maybe you should just keep quite, shouldn't you.

@@apeekintime I’m sorry you feel that way. Ben’s life and Rhett and Links’ memories of him are not a “story” to add to. They knew Ben and shared something special that you clearly don’t understand.

It cant leave you, that feeling will fade but never die because you loved them, the worst thing is if there was a 'simple' solution like if they wore a seat-belt when it happened and you could have made a bet with them to keep them belted the whole journey or some other far-fetched solution like take the longer road or have them explain their steering-wheel wasn't centered, sometimes they die because of easily prevented but somehow nontrivial factors that will haunt you forever with what-ifs.

If I had a nickel for every time Rhett and Link made a video involving squirrel led musical numbers I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[@Fancyfinn99]

Beautiful 😂

[@deprofundis3293]

Love you for this haha

[@Bookfidelity915]

This is my favorite Wonderhole video so far. Funny while still being real and emotional. We know everything when we’re young, don’t we? Bravo, gentlemen.

[@sydissuave]

It's so important to keep those we love that aren't with us on this earth around in anyway we can. It's so easy to get lost in grief and forget that they'd want us to keep on, and maybe one day chop down a tree with some peanut butter. I hope everyone who's grieving remembers that their Ben is still there with them in the love they gave us to keep with us forever. It's the most precious gift to have love in this life that we feel for a lifetime, to be able to think back fondly on it. Thank you for the reminder Rhett, Link, and Ben.

A heartfelt tribute to Ben and the perfect vessel for Angela’s energy. Another win for Wonderhole!

[@juliepigeon9687]

The Ear Biscuits episode where they detail their memories with Ben is still in the forefront of my mind weekly. The depths R&L go to to explain their emotions and reflect on how and why they acted with Ben felt like their most introspective religious experience. That they continue to include Ben in their videos heartwarming.

What a sweet, lovely, heartbreaking tribute to your friend Ben. Brought tears to my eyes.

[@keepmewierd]

3:15 Angela always thinking of Spencer

[@billieanson9221]

LMAO

[@juniperrb]

RIP Ben! ❤ Also... Angela is absolute gold

[@juniperrb]

She's gonna bitch slap a mouse! 😂

[@Benjamin.J.Holliday]

Had me laughing so hard 😂

[@nanuqo2006]

Mythical and Starkid kinda just fit together I think

[@Rroth42]

I love smosh, starkid and mythical crossover

[@Ghostteethz]

I lost my grandpa (who was my idol growing up) to testicular cancer almost a decade ago this month, he wanted everyone to find ways to be happy and laugh about his life instead of being sad about his death. This is such a beautiful and funny way to honor your friend. The way certain parts are filmed to leave space for Ben is really sweet.

[@rytterl]

Angela... You're wonderful! Unhinged and a pure joy. Rhett and Link talking about Ben will never not make me tear up. He sounds like an hilarious dude to grow up with. I'm glad he did to the boys what he did, because we might not have had these people in our lives if not. Thank you, Ben.

[@danihellings5508]

I went from crying, ti laughing to crying. No matter if they talk about ben in ear biscuits, gmm or wonderhole. This is why I love these gentlemen, Ben will live forever ❤❤

[@alexkoenig54]

This series is the best, most important thing you guys have ever made. It’s funny, touching and thought provoking. As a fan since the days of the Velcro song, I’ve seen you try many different things over the years, some better than others, some not so great..but I’ve always enjoyed being along for the ride. But this, this show here, is something special. I’m looking forward to each new episode and hope you continue on in this style as long as you can, this show has legitimately blown away all my expectations. 10/10

[@shakeearth]

I lost my dad 17 years ago today and this made me so happy to see. What a beautiful way to honour someone ❤️

[@missbeaussie]

❤

[@alyssahenderson172]

I'm sobbing. Thank goodness for the comic relief of the squirrels. The love you have for Ben is so sweet

[@fancynecromancy]

The cinematography on this was INSANE! I don't have any mythical friends but it's always an honor to be a part of this community. These two are my favorite.

[@HolyStarling198]

R.I.P. Ben🙏🕊️

[@Dwoods451]

R.I.P.

[@Dporticus]

I think we all wish we were lucky enough to have known Ben. Thank you for letting us feel like we did.

[@Minilinny]

If you want to hear more of the story, they did an earbiscuits episode on it. It's called: The Life and Loss of Ben, Our Other Best Friend

[@chattyotter3300]

Well now I’m just a sobbing mess😭 Having lost many family members (three to cancer) in the span of 9 months almost a couple years ago now, it really hit home going through that grief of watching someone fade away with out any way to help. Honestly I haven’t really worked through it so this really helped. Love you guys, thank you and thank you Ben.

[@kaitlynpetersen2320]

This episode was my fav for multiple reasons, I love that you’re keeping Ben’s memory alive and doing things he would have loved. But also, Angela was the perfect squirrel!!! 😂

[@Shebeast3]

it was a very deep and heartfelt moment when rhett and link where talking about the last time they spent with ben,its very honest and humbling that both rhett and link feel regret but at the same time they understand that what they done was how they showed their love and care for him.

[@loopsandpurlsstitch]

To see two men be so vunerable about the grief over the loss of a friend had me in tears. Talking about feelings is tough, but to do so in such an honorable way couldn't have been more perfect. The squirrels threw me for a loop, especially the "If I could give you my wings, I would.." speech. Something paralleled to the loss of a friend shows the enormous amount of grief and regret we carry when a loved one passes. Thank you for sharing Ben's story with us and showing us your path towards healing.

[@peterjoelsson279]

No role has been more perfect for Angela than this!

[@abbienicholson6022]

I was so happy and shocked when I saw her!

[@clairefmack]

Fully ready to cry.

[@tuckerroveto3586]

Same here

[@juniperrb]

I definitely did

[@hopegold883]

Listen to the earbiscuit about him. You will.

[@ivyarianrhod]

I am crying. (Also previously listened to the ear biscuits about him.)

[@Shaumar]

When the tree fell, I broke down crying. It made me relive losses I thought I'd worked through. Next episode? They're crayons. It's so perfect

[@jan_harald]

I liked that shadow-man who just stroked the tail, lol

[@mrouschkateer]

He put the two tails into a heart lol
